Floating on cloud nine 100
Why half the ‘Forbes Cloud 100’ list
uses Gong for growth
How does Forbes find upcoming leaders for its annual Cloud 100 list, which ranks the world’s top private cloud companies? It evaluates numbers in market leadership, operating metrics, valuation, and company culture.
Gong is honored to be on the 2021 Forbes Cloud 100 list, and we’re even more excited to be featured alongside 49 of our amazing customers. That’s right. There are 49 Gong users on the Forbes list this year.
Plenty of people have asked us what it takes — in addition to a little magic — to become a fast-growing cloud company. We see a strong connection between our Forbes ranking and our commitment to revenue intelligence.
What’s revenue intelligence? It’s technology that gives sales leaders insight into what’s really happening inside their teams’ deals. It uses AI to capture and assess every customer interaction sales reps have with buyers, and gains insights from near-real-time market feedback (i.e., customers’ unfiltered voices).
As the leading provider of revenue intelligence, Gong gives revenue teams the clarity they need to make better deal-related decisions. It also offers guidance on next moves that drive successful outcomes, improves productivity through automation, and boosts collaboration by aligning go-to-market functions.
As much as we’re floating on our Cloud 100 nomination, we’re also celebrating the 49 other Cloud 100 companies who use Gong to flourish. Here’s how a few of them use our revenue intelligence platform for growth across varying departments:
